This page (recto) is a part of the book "Ghirlanda: Di sei vaghi fiori scielti da piu famosi Giardini d'Italia" created in 1604 by Italian artist Pietro Paulo Tozzi (1593-1628). It features an intricate ornamental border design and a block of text printed in black ink. The page is likely a dedication or an introduction to the book, as it contains a list of titles and addresses in Italian. The ornate border is a common feature of books printed in the 17th century and adds to the overall aesthetic of the book. This page is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
